It’s been quite some time that we are
continuously inactive!
Now there’s a good news & a bad one.
Since we can’t ask you which one goes first, here it goes: We are now going to
cover place to eat in Chennai as well! The bad part is that the frequency might
decrease a bit.
We’ll try our best to keep bringing you
guys the best of F&B like we always do.
In this post we’ll be talking about a
restaurant which after its initial success in Bangalore, has gone ahead &
opened a new outlet.
We were recently invited to experience the
offerings of the new outlet of Bombay Brasserie in Bellandur. The outlet is
located in RMZ Ecoword-The Bay.
Our previous experience with Bombay
Brasserie set up a high level of expectation & we’re happy to say that the
standards have indeed been maintained!
Before we talk about the food, we want to
emphasize on the ambience, the seating & picturesque surroundings. The
setting of the restaurant really puts the weather of Bangalore to great use. If
you visit, you’ll come across a lot of blue & green. They even have tables
with swings on both ends so you can rock & eat at the same time. (Doesn’t
work for us though)
Now it’s time for the point of focus:
This time we were accompanied by someone
who loves food as much as we do & thanks to her we were able to clean
everything which was served.
Without getting into much details we’ll
list the items we tried & which ones we recommend.
Starters: Spicy Pahadi Mushrooms, Naga
Ghost Pepper Wings, Kashmiri Naan Kebab, Old Delhi Murgh Boti with Butter
Roomali & Rajputana Murg Soola Kebab.
We tried the Kashmiri Naan & Old Delhi
Murgh Boti & the taste was remarkable just as the time before. We loved the
mushrooms. The spicy minced paneer filling & the pahadi masala did wonders
with the flavor & taste.
The ghost pepper wings were smoky, hot
& unimaginably tasty! If you aren’t afraid of the next morning, do try
this. This might make you cry but you won’t stop having it. Lastly, the Soola
Kebab was presented very well & even blow torched in front of us. The meat
was juicy, tender & retained all the flavors. The prep is mildly spicy but
it didn’t have an amazing kick to call it wow.
For drinks, we tried their Pauas which are
local Mumbai drinks served in small bottles. [The idea is to make them portable
for travelers].
They have interesting colors & flavors
& they really stand out.
Apart from these, we tried the Fauji Party
Special which is a dark rum based drink with pineapple & chaat masala. It
is not a sweet drink so you get the raw kick of the rum in each sip.
For main course, we tried the Goan Prawn
Biryani & Rajasthani Dhungar Maas accompanied by Chur Chur Paratha.
We tried the Biryani before and it had the
same great taste. The Paratha was interesting. It was like a lachha paratha
with an additional crispy top layer which tastes like a cheese cracker with
seasoning. It tasted great & went well with the semi-spicy mutton prep. The
Mutton pieces were cooked perfectly & the gravy was lip smacking.
For dessert, we tried the Amritsari Kulfa
& Anglo Indian Bread Pudding.
The former was a combination of Kulfi &
Rabdi on a bed of Phirni. It was creamy with the right amount of sweetness
& the hint of rose syrup added to the experience. Definitely wow! The
portion size was pretty big as well.
The latter: comforting & mildly sweet
bread pudding served with custard. The portion size was huge. The best part about
this dessert is that it was very light on the stomach in spite of the portion
size. We would classify this as an entire meal itself.
That’s all we tried this time as we were on
a diet! :P
It feels great to be back! We would love to
hear more from you guys in the form of comments/tweets/anything.
If you like quiet/calm/romantic dining,
this should be your pick. The food is great & you’ll get to know that first
hand.
We’ll be back soon. Very soon ;).
Till then—don’t lose faith & bon
apetit!
